Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, is a great day to shop for some of the best deals of the year. After less than stellar sales last holiday season, retailers make up for last year and jumpstart the holiday shopping season by offering amazing sales on Black Friday. Take advantage of the discounts and sales offered only on Black Friday by being prepared and waiting to buy certain items on Black Friday.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Shop for electronics, such as laptops, HDTV’s, Blu Ray Players, and video game systems, on Black Friday when box stores drop prices. Stores like Best Buy, Staples, Office Max, Target and Sears are most likely to have steeply discounted electronics to lure shoppers into the store.

  2. Step 2

    Start comparing brands and prices of appliances now, so you know when you see a good deal on Black Friday. An ad for Sears has already popped up that advertises 55% off a washer and dryer set by Kenmore. That is a great deal!

  3. Step 3

    Make a list of tools you want to buy this holiday season and start watching the Black Friday ads. Stores such as Lowes, Sears and Harbor Freight Tools, have already posted some of their Black Friday deals.

  4. Step 4

    Shop for toys for the kids on Black Friday when stores offer door-busting deals. Watch the box store ads in the weeks and days leading up to Black Friday to find the best deals. Wal-mart has already advertised that it will be selling over 100 toys for $10 or less.

  5. Step 5

    Search websites that allow people to scan and post Black Friday ads as they appear around the country. Try blackfriday.info, blackfriday.become.com and blackfday.com. You can even join Black Friday groups via Facebook, so you don’t miss the best deals. Compare the ads ahead of time so you don’t waste any precious shopping time on Black Friday. Be aware, some of the best deals are only offered during the morning hours on Black Friday, so make a prioritized list ahead of time of the stores you need to visit.

  6. Step 6

    Find the same Black Friday sales online and avoid standing in lines at 5 am to get the best deals. More and more retailers are offering the same Black Friday deals online. Some retailers are also offering Black Friday deals in-store and online during the weeks leading up to Black Friday.
